Dang, so this is a recent Samsung phone then? I've heard really good things about Samsung though the last one I used was the Galaxy S3 and that was my wife's phone.

What are you going to get instead? I've been pleased with the Pixel line and have delayed updates for many weeks. It will just nag me with a popup every week or so but never forces. OnePlus I've also been very pleased with and have never even gotten a nag from them.

Note 10+. It was their flagship model 3 or 4 years ago.

I can't decide what phone to replace it with. I love the idea of the pinephone but it's way too cheap. The other open source options are way too expensive.

The best option seems to be a Pixel device with a custom OS, but I'm loath to give google money.

Under no circumstances will I buy another phone that I can't run a custom OS on.
